Some updates:
I have the JDL 4-2-1 back on the car and flashed Steve's 93oct tune. The car has a very linear power profile now and it's great. My butt dyno says it's a lot faster but I still need to get around to validating that. Oh the car also sounds like a raspy Honda now. And I have it unwrapped--I felt a bit uncomfortable wrapping it knowing that my engine leaks a wee bit of oil.
I also installed Gerald's trap-box and a switch panel. In order:
[Pedal Dance] [ABS Disable] [Rad Fans 100%] [Seatbelt chime + TPMS disable]
The tutorial video that mentions just drilling a hole into the back of that cubby lies--you need to cut out the entire rear section unless you cut the power and ground daisy chain wires reeeally short. Regardless, the convenience of having a switch do the pedal dance is nice as hell and now having the ability to disable ABS for future track usage is also really nice.
I need to do some miscellaneous stuff to the car as well--I think my coilovers are set too low in the front as I get a weird lean and steering angle change when taking high G right handers. My front left is actually slightly lower than my right so I think it's just a setup issue.
I also tried relubing my caliper guide pins and I guess I was too conservative with the application. Went back to lube them more but now I get a pull to the right under heavy breaking and a single pin on the front left caliper refuses to spin smoothly no matter how much I lube it--I got another pin to replace it. If replacing that fixes this that would be nice as this is bothering the hell out of me.
My Flex Zs are also getting kinda old at this point so I've been bouncing the idea of a set of Tein's Mono Racing coilovers around in my head. I'll get these other issues sorted before I do that though.
